• holding that three-month employment period by \borrowing\ employer did not support finding of dual employment
• concluding that this factor weighed against dual employment where, though the special employer signed the employee's timecards, the direct employer issued the paychecks, withheld taxes, paid employee's worker's compensation insurance premiums, and provided him with health insurance
• noting intent or belief of the parties may be an important factor in determining whether an employer-employee relationship existed
• affirming finding that employee of construction project subcontractor was not also an employee of the general contractor
• finding control factor did not support an employment relationship in part because the parties' contract specified that the alleged employer was \not in charge\ of the \means and methods\ of the alleged employee's work
• exclusivity of worker's compensation act in action against general contractor by employee of subcontractor
